One of the chief difficulties encountered by aeroplanists lias been tlie liability of all classes of machines to capsize, and many attempts have been, made to overcome the tendency of the machine to depart from stability. A young Aucklander, Mr R .E. N. Matthews, son ot Mr <O. E. Matthews, a solicitor, has prepared plans for an aeroplane orabracirjg several new and important features, one being its construction, by which it is believed that it will be almost impossible for the machine to capsize. . : , After working out the plans, which are protected in New Zealand, Mr Matthews submitted them Jo inspection by experts, who are loud in their praise of the ideas embodied in the proposed invention. ■Mr Matthews is also confident that his ideas will bear a practical test, and for this purpose he lias left Auckland en route for London to place the matter before the best known aeroplane authorities. Tlie details which were shown to the reporters, are very interesting, but for the present are not to be made public.
